San Miguel
County
San Miguel County is a
diverse county of great beauty that consists of 1,287 square miles. The
east end of the county is driven by the upscale resort economy of the
Telluride area while the west end of the county is filed with wide open
spaces and an old time western ranching lifestyle.

|
At the east of County, surrounded by the majestic
peaks of the San Juan Mountains, Telluride and Mountain Village.
What began as a turn-of-the-century mining community has evolved
into a world-renowned resort.
Two towns in one, Telluride and Mountain Village offer the best
of Colorado's past and progressive present. A National Historic
Landmark District with |
 |
 |
| Victorian-era architecture, Telluride
rests at the base of the Telluride Ski Mountain
and is surrounded by 13,000-foot (almost 4,000-meter) peaks. Telluride
is connected to Mountain Village by a free gondola. Located
mid-mountain at 9,500 feet above sea level, Mountain Village overlooks
some of Colorado's most magnificent peaks. |

An eclectic blend of American Southwest
and European style, Mountain Village is the ultimate mountain retreat
for residents and visitors alike who want convenience, luxury and
incredible scenery. Located mid-mountain on the south side of the
ski area, the Town of Mountain Village overlooks some of the highest
and most magnificent peaks in the San Juan Mountain Range. Founded
in 1987, the design combines European-alpine architecture with
the rustic traditions of the Rockies.
Nestled atop Wright's Mesa in the west end of the County, the Town of Norwood
has spectacular vistas of high alpine and wild desert country. Far horizons are
ringed by the La Sal Mountains in the west, the Uncompahgre Plateau to the north,
the San Juan and San Miguel Mountains in the east and, to the south... Norwood's
own jewel... the Lone Cone. Rugged desert canyons and ranch lands etch the landscape
between. |
